UND Football Fan

Schiller has quickness and is a state champion 400 meter runner. Most get players to compliment her and be able to play some defense.

2024 UND Football thread may just as well be called. 2024 UND Football who the Hell did We Lose Now thread.

Not sure if it has been posted. Any word on who is the new strength coach?

Not sure if there is change from 8-10 years ago. Someone who experienced the budgeting process said a crazy amount of the sports budget went to hockey (I don’t recall numbers). Judging the lack of change in salaries (head coach to assistants) I doubt it is any different now.

Whoever we get, needs to have the energy and be relatable/find connections to the athletes so we have a chance for a successful season.

If that’s the case. This could be Bubba.

Just when I think things may get better, I get this Michael Scott image.

After watching Montana in The playoffs and some other FCS games. I wish we would gamble on some more FBS players. Fast twitchy guys can make up a mistake quicker in busted coverage and or set the edge/rush quicker. Going after lower level athletes can add depth but not necessarily impact, unless they developed a lot physically after high school.

As a college kid Mad Dog Munski’s outdated cookies from Hugo’s were tasty. He was awesome.

Alternate multiverse, we hired DeBoer 2013, Bubba stays at SIU. DeBoer turns team around and makes playoff 1st year, and makes to National title game. He leaves for a better pay/opportunity after 2015 season. That year Lennon is done at SIU. DeBoer takes most of his staff to that next HC opportunity. Chances are we hire Dale if not Bubba. Dale coaches a few years 5-7 or 7-5 ball and retires. Then AD keeps it in house and hires Bubba 2020 season. We could be in the same place as we are now if we went with DeBoer. This post is mostly jabberwocky on coaching thoughts, but gives the semi-geeky fan something to think about.

If like Sox, I’ll be dead before they win a title in FCS!

Your quote reminds me of a movie

Not hiring DeBoer may be our version of the Curse of the Bambino.

This means to me is ask QB’s if they want a promotion within or go with a solid coordinator with QB credentials. Hopefully someone who is good to be the next head coach if O-coordinator, if hire within then for coordinator then need to find a solid qb coach. My Bison friends were surprised and now enjoying our situation.

If there is a short list and no quality, Craig Bagnell of USD maybe an option. Good OC at Bemidji and made Mary’s crappy offense (slot veer) to a top D2 offense. He was a winner in college and a quarterback guy. just a crazy thought

Or more simple, chance to coach D1, and make more money and possible head coach aspirations. Good coaches/assistants will be plucked by other head coaches for bigger opportunities (and pay). As for the Titanic reference next season will show how accurate your analogy is in my opinion. If anything the last few years seem more like the Bermuda Triangle where it looks like we can tackle in the open, run the ball etc. then it suddenly disappears in a game or a half. Ideally he (Eric) will be in the running for head coach if and when Bubba leaves because of the FBS experience and a chance to use UND as a resume builder.

My novice guess Deng Deng is more of a deep threat or simpler route runner. Unless he can develop better footwork and learn how to get separation from d-backs.

In the recruiting thread there was talk about where the team is at and playoffs 4 of last 5 years etc. My take is Where we were before Bubba and where we are now is has been an improvement. As stated offense is better but needs to be more consistent and defense was decent to good has dropped especially the last two years. The team and especially the staff (very much most of us on this forum) that beating NDSU and making the playoffs is no longer good enough. Need to make deep playoff runs and a title. Next years schedule is tougher but we get a few more pieces on D and have effective schemes we could go from 6 wins to 8-10. If we don’t get the latter I would think there will be more coaching changes next year.

I know some games some teams looked physically bigger and faster. Hopefully with a new strength coach, that will not be as much of a factor against the top tier teams of FCS. Offense will about the same for next year, it will be interesting to see how QB play develop….hopefully we will see more QB run game since the depth there is deep. Defense needs to do fricken figure it out, 2 straight years of horrendous 3rd down play is 1.5 years too long. As many said get more depth/competition to start. Get bigger, stronger and faster with our D-Line.

Must have used one of ours this year.

Montana beat D2 Farris State by one TD and lost to Northern Arizona and beat Idaho State by a TD. Montana’s Defense does carry them when their QB stinks.

Did Montana borrow our playbook on the reverse in the red zone?

https://fightinghawks.com/staff-directory/nate-baukol/86 17years, 21 years total at UND. If rumor is true. With having injuries deplete depth is the possible reason why or lack of size/muscle or speed……I am not a strength coach guy, so I do not know how much impact he would have on the in-season and out of season training.

In my opinion. One similarity between Danny and Rudy is the reliance of a play concept. Danny we complain about the different versions of the short passing game, and Rudy I recall his use of different versions if the toss sweep run game.

I hate is ndsu like everyone else, USD needs play with lead or it could get ugly. They did have a dramatic block kick for win last week thus, best chance for bison to lose is if they beat themselves.
